When you're stranded in Chesterfield because of a malfunctioning car, and the garage calls to say the repair will take longer (and cost more) than you thought, there's only one reasonable response - pints in the 😎 at 'spoons!

Happy Easter! 🐣 Living my best life with a coffee, kitchen prep someone else's responsibility and a bag of mini eggs smuggled in. Shame about the four kids also in the room hepped up on chocolate and squabbling over Mario Kart but oh well 😁

[CBoComms @CBoCommsUofG]

Great being at @UofGByresHub today for the last session of our @UofGEducation media project with @HillheadPrimary - much fun interviewing Brendon McIllroy of Halo Arts and learning more about @UofGInnovation 🤓🎬

Keep a 👀 for more!

[CBoComms @CBoCommsUofG]

Fantastic effort by Aine O'Brien and Luke Daly @UofGSciEng trying to talk about meteorites to a group of kids demanding their lunch 😁

Pleased that my train is running again - a week 'on the buses' was quite enough for me 😅 Hugely grateful to @ScotRail @NetworkRailSCOT and everyone who's worked so hard to restore as much normality as possible after the Glasgow fire. Hope all services can resume soon.

This is such a powerful read - for many, Union Corner was a place we passed during our daily commute and never gave another thought to, but its loss is devastating for our city.

[UofG Soc & Pol Sci @UofGSPS]

"These stories build up over the years to ensure that places like Union Corner fizz with emotional energy."

Brilliant read by @imadgination03 in the aftermath of Glasgow's Union Corner fire, and why we're so affected by the loss of historic places.

@GThomas1970 @marksandspencer Now that's unfair Mr T - I've admitted it on here so definitely no secrecy!

[CBoComms @CBoCommsUofG]

Best way to enjoy a rather lovely @marksandspencer White Burgundy? Highly recommend hiding in your cellar away from a dining room full of hyped up squabbling kids, in a plastic cup so I don't look like a total lush 😄 Happy Friday all!

Every time* I visit @UofGDumfries it's sunny - so I was chuffed to see the ☀️ today - even if it is a bit breezy! Great to be here again catching up with @UofGSocSci colleagues.

*Mostly. I work in comms, I'm allowed to be generous with the truth!

[CBoComms @CBoCommsUofG]

Because nothing says #ValentinesDay like a pot of basil in which sits your lover's head, chopped off by your brothers, which you'll tend for eternity. Aww ❤️

@AnaInesLanger @UofGSocSci @HillheadPrimary @UofGEducation It's a great school! We're going to be working with the P3s.

[CBoComms @CBoCommsUofG]

Enjoyed visiting @HillheadPrimary to talk to the P3 class about a very exciting project with @UofGEducation - watch this space! 👀🎬

The video of my conversation with @_KateForbes and @FraserNelson at the @UofGlasgow @JohnSmithCentre this week is now up - see the link

Trump, independence, Brexit, religion, the cost of living....we got through a lot. Massive thanks to both

"There's a lot of evidence of efforts to subvert or manipulate public discourse."

Dr Paul Reilly spoke to @FerretScot about 'alarming' concerns that AI misinformation could sway the upcoming Scottish Parliament election.

Toasting two weeks in our new house. Beginning to feel like we've always been here ❤️

[Karlie Gray @MrsKRGray]

✨ Inspired by my colleagues @UofGCfTE and @SabhalMorOstaig … this week for #LanguagesWeek we jumped into 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Gaelic 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🔴 100% of children had never heard of Gaelic.
🟢 100% of children ‘had a go’ at reading Gaelic and LOVED it!

…càite a-nis?

Great to be a part of this visit - the @UofGCfTE have been doing impressive work over the past year.

Meeting the secondees was so inspiring - as one told me 'this is what teachers need, this is what we are crying out for'.

[ScotGov Education @ScotGovEdu]

Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth met teacher secondees at @UofGCfTE to learn more about the work they are doing to help teachers practice and drive improved outcomes for children and young people across Scotland.
